This compact, portable RF spectrum analyzer offers many features of a high-performance model for a low, affordable price. With a wide frequency range(10 kHz to 1.5GHz or optional 1.8GHz), large amplitude range (-115 dBm to +30 dBm), and 50- or optional 75 Ohm input, the HP 8590A has the versatility to make most RF signal measurements. Over 100 functions can be programmed from an optional computer interface, and many accessories are available to expand basic spectrum analyzer capabilities. HP 8590A Specifications Frequency range: 10kHz to 1.5GHz with 4-digit resolution Readout accuracy: < +/-5 MHz + 1%of span (50-Ohm termination on 1stLO Out) Frequency Drift: 50 kHz/5 min. after 2-hour warmup and 5 min. after setting center frequency Signal track: signal held at display center compensates for drift Noise sidebands: < -65 dBc at 30 kHz offset (1 kHz RBW, 30 Hz VBW) Frequency span range: zero and 50 kHz to 1.5 GHz with 4-digit resolution Readout accuracy: < +/-3% of indicated frequency span Resolution BW (RBW): 1kHz to 3 MHz in 1,3sequence (Gaussian shape) Video BW (VBW): 30 Hz to 3 MHz in 1,3 sequence Sweep time range: 20 ms to 100s Readout accuracy: +/-10% of indicated setting Amplitude range(1 MHz to 1.3 GHz): 50 Ohm calibration: - I 15dBmto +30dBm Readout resolution (with markers): <0.05 dB for log scale; <0.05% of Ref.

It has served me well and functions great... there are no known measurement defects. Because of its age. the case does have a few scuffs on it, and there are signs of used on the rubber handle pieces. There is barely noticeable burn-in on the screen that can only be noticed at high intensity in low/zero light conditions. The hinge covers for the handles are also missing, though this does not affect the operation of the handle itself. See pictures of the actual unit. The standard 14 day Ebay return policy is offered for this item if the item is not as described. The buyer is responsible for shipping charges in both directions. The most important thing is to ask questions first... it will save us both headaches!
